I just finished reading "2034: A Novel of the Next World War" (by Elliot Ackerman, Admiral James Stavridis USN) based on a recommendation from someone on Shrewd'M.
Anyway, it’s not bad, but the basic premise of a Chinese action in the South China Sea utilizing AI-based cyber warfare spinning out of control is worth pondering.
This is today’s news:

Easy-peesy – until Trump or Netanyahu or Putin decides they didn’t end up with enough and tries to take more.
A better written book about a previous war is "December 6" an historical thriller novel by Martin Cruz Smith, set in Tokyo on the eve of the Pearl Harbor attack. History tends to rhyme.
